Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Post your Moots!

I don't have a Moots, but I want one...a lot. So everyone post up your Moots! There is a post your ti thread, but that is mostly full of litespeeds, with only a few Moots. I just want to see how you all have built up your moots, and whether or not they ride as nice as they seem.

Older build, and nowhere near as nice as cOlnago's, but I think the owner is better looking so there's that.

Thanks...I tried carbon cages but I liked the look of King Ti cages mo betta. If I recall, in that pic it was at 13.8lbs...since then lost a little weight on the steerer trim and then back up a now since I've added a Hydrotail with two more cages.

There are a few changes, but you get the idea.

1. The wheels have been swapped to Campy and are now on my Canyon.
2. Speedplay --> Keo carbons
3. The stem is the next to go as the Garmin mount isn't a fan of the shape. I'm thinking a simple 3T alloy.

If I had to do it all over again I'd probably order a compact, but this bike has been good to me.
